He was everywhere till the extent Jimin started to fear he was a stalker. But he never approached him. He would just sit at one corner and stare at him with his soulful dark eyes, not saying a word.

It became a normal occurrence for Jimin to spot Taehyung somewhere around him. At the library, walking behind him when he was on his way to school, sitting few meters away from him at the cafeteria, training his eyes on him whenever he was in the company of friends. Jimin finally knew there was a problem when one particular night, he had a dream and in that dream, Taehyung was standing right in front of him in a dark room holding out his hand, a creepy smile on his face.

"You can't escape from me Jimin. I'll pursue you till the end of time"

Then he let out a heavy laughter looking pointedly at him like he was enjoying seeing Jimin in a dillemma.

"No! No!" Jimin screamed at the top of his lungs and woke up drenched in sweat. He wasn't able to sleep the entire night worried he would have that 'nightmare' again. He really didn't want to have any relationship with Taehyung. Not him, not with anyone.

He was so afraid. The thought that people could discover his secret made him unbelievably stuck. He was attracted to men and if he eventually ended up dating one, his partner would discover the truth about him. He couldn't let that happen but Taehyung wasn't giving him time to breathe.

He was all over his space. Sending him little romantic notes while he was in class. Complimenting his looks every single day

"You look really good today"

"Oh... I love that hair cut"

"Your lips..."

Because of him, Jimin found that he started taking extra care of his appearance looking forward to Taehyung's compliments and of course, he never failed to deliver.

Jimin tried. He tried really hard to deny it but Taehyung gave him extreme butterflies in his stomach. The way he would look at him. The way he smiled at a joke. His mannerisms stuck to his head all day. He was exactly his type. Just the way he liked his men. Dark, tall. Brooding and exceptionally handsome. Jimin was a sucker for handsome men. Which was why it was getting harder and harder to ignore Taehyung. One look and he would go weak in his knees. He could hardly face him so avoiding him was the best option and that in itself was becoming more impossible as the days passed.

Taehyung's popularity was immense. He was known to be a wealthy heir from a reputable family so people often flocked around him. He always had one or more persons around him that's why it didn't go unnoticed when Taehyung started frequenting school less and less.

Exams was closely approaching and Jimin noticed Taehyung wasn't coming to school regularly. He was curious over what was happening to him but then again, he didn't want to act like he cared and give Taehyung the wrong idea.

Days and weeks passed  Taehyung didn't write his tests, he didn't attend classes either. Jimin couldn't ignore the situation anymore and decided to ask his classmates for his whereabouts but they were just as clueless as he was.

Another week passed and Taehyung surprisingly landed at school but he didn't attend lectures. He spent the entire day at the councillor's office. Jimin was sure it had to do with his grades. He badly wanted to know what was happening with Taehyung. Why he seemed so distant. Why he wasn't taking his studies seriously?

Once lecture was over, he went to the councillor's office hoping to catch a glimpse of the other. As Jimin hid behind a wall, He saw him standing outside the door talking to the female councillor. She looked like she was reproaching him as her arms were crossed in front of her chest .

"This is a university. You are old enough to do whatever pleases you"

"But this was a personal request from your family so I had to comply"

As soon as she said that, Taehyung rolled his eyes in distaste but the woman continued.

"This is very important. Your GPA is unbelievably low. It's not even up to two. If you continue like this, you may have to repeat this year. Even if you decide to move to the next year, you won't be able to register all your failed courses and  you'll eventually end up unable to graduate with your mates"

"That will be bad for your family reputation"

Taehyung scoffed. "Like I care. I never wanted to study architecture anyway"

"But you have no choice in this matter. You are the only heir"

Taehyung sighed again looking frustrated.

"I've been able to arrange with some lecturers to retake your tests. As for the others, you'll just have to study extra hard in other to do well in the exams"

Taehyung said nothing bowing his head and avoiding eye contact.

"It's all up to you. You may leave now"

The councillor turned and walked back into her office.

Jimin stood there and watched Taehyung who was standing in front of the office looking lost and confused. After what seemed like ages, he finally turned and started to walk towards the corridor. Jimin stealthily followed him hoping not to be discovered. He didn't know why he was acting unlike his usual self.

He never really bothered about other people's lives. He was more interested in himself. He was a bit self centered but for the first time, he actually cared about the kid whose back he was following, whose face haunted his dreams at night, whose smile sent his heart racing. He actually really cared about what he thought and how he felt.

Taehyung suddenly stopped Midway. Without looking back, he said.

"You've been following me the entire time. Who are you?"

Jimin blushed. He stood in one place face reddening. For a second, he thought of running away but decided against it. It would be really stupid if he did that. Instead, he took a deep breath and spoke.

"It's me... Jimin!"

Taehyung immediately turned around. His face full of shock. But there where traces of happiness in his eyes.

"You? What are you doing here?"

Jimin blushed. He couldn't face him so he focused on his legs as he began to speak.

"Well... you weren't attending classes, you've been absent from school for days so I was...a bit worried"

He swallowed hard and closed his eyes tightly completely overcome with embarrassment. A soft chuckle escaped from Taehyung's lips.

"You missed me!" He said.

Jimin's knees nearly caved. He looked up and saw the happiness on Taehyung's face.

"Don't deny it. I know you missed me"

"I didn't..." Jimin stammered. "I was merely worried for my fellow classmate. That's all"

Taehyung nodded his head and hid a smile. Jimin bit his lips

"I heard you have to retake the tests and that you're having trouble with school work"

"I could help" he added.

Taehyung was surprised and it was written all over his face.

"You want to help me? How? Why?"

Jimin searched his brain for the right words to say.

"I just...feel sorry for you. You might end up not graduating like the rest of us"

"And that's just going to be sad"

He didn't think and just blurted out the words. "So I'll tutor you"

Then he went silent still unable to look Taehyung in that eye when suddenly the latter pressed himself closer to him. So close both their chests met. Jimin gulped as Taehyung leaned closer and whispered into his ear.

"I could easily have the best tutors in the country available to have me tutored. Why should I take you on your offer?"

Jimin went red, small anger igniting in his heart. "Well, if you don't want to, you can just decline. It's not like I'm forcing you"

Taehyung laughed. "Of course I won't decline. How can I let go of the only opportunity I could get to be close to you"

"You have no idea just how happy I feel to hear this straight from your lips"

Then he leaned much closer, his lips brushing past his ears.

"So how should we go about it? I'm really curious"

At that moment, Jimin knew he had made a big mistake but there was no going back. He was the one that saught Taehyung out. He was the one who finally let him in despite all his initial hesitation. He just didn't know what came over him. Seeing Taehyung standing there looking lost and confused had made him feel a certain way. It made him worried and determined to wipe that depressing look off his face and replace it with a smile. Now, looking at the smirk on Taehyung's face, he was almost regretting his decision

His lips trembled "I'll text you concerning the arrangement" he said then turned on his heels and fled. What was he thinking? He couldn't help but berate himself for being so stupid.

"I'll tutor you" He laughed at himself. He should have thought this through carefully. There's no doubt on his mind that Taehyung was going to seduce him and he wouldn't stop till he fell.

Jimin began to think about how he could prevent himself from falling further into Taehyung's charms but the more he thought about it, the more he realized there was really no way to protect himself. He was going to have to be strong and firm. He wasn't going to tolerate any misbehavior from Taehyung. With that in mind, he felt slightly better.

Taehyung watched the other boy walking away from him. He had seen his eyes earlier and they were filled with mixed emotions. Regret, passion, fear, anxiety. Jimin was like a magnet that kept pulling him. Just few seconds with him and he had forgotten all his problems. He was like a soothing balm to his aches.  He was irresistible. His innocence was seductive and Taehyung drank it in with pleasure. He really wanted nothing more than to be in his bossom, than to kiss those plump lips till they become more swollen than they already are. He wanted to have him in every way possible and he wasn't going to stop till Jimin was his and he would be. It was only a matter of time. One thing Taehyung was good at was being patient. He would be patient till the day Jimin becomes his.
